YES. why? the exact MB i wanted well under market value.
this was a w202 to replace my W124 that was hit and totaled.

what i did was secure my bid with seller with a refundable deposit. arrived to inspect car, took the car to put on rack for through inspection. seller (high-end import indy) had the few items i didnt like repaired on the spot. went back to office and signed over bank draft and left with car and title. they sell almost exclusively on ebay. MB, BMW, porsche, fer, lex, etc.

items that helped me decide: all maint records, carfax, extensive photos, accurate description, ebay feedback, inspection.

smiled all the way home, approx 700 miles.

note- i am in atlanta if anyone ever needs me to take a quick look at a car for sale in the area as a 1st evaluation for you. i could tell you if you should take your money and run, or if i thought the car was worthy of further professional inspection.
